Photo of a white DKiG in wear?

[steiner99]

Hello gentlemens,

I wonder about such a extem exotic badge as a white DKiG for the white summer uniform. Is there existing a photo on which a white DKiG on a uniform can be seen?

It is a cloth DKiG with a white background for the summer tunic. I have not personally seen a photo of one in wear.

White or field grey that appears lighter against the black uniform? (Love the EKII clasp above his EKI)

If that is fieldgrey how would white look?

I think it's a field gray Cross too

I can't say for certain. I think I can see the silver outline of the star against the background fabric -- I wouldn't think that would be as clear on white fabric. Plus (and just my opinion), no self-respecting panzer veteran would go out of his way to find a white background DKiG to wear on his panzer jacket, when field grey DKiGs were likely far more easily sourced.

Any chance of an enlargement of the award?

I don't think it is a question of a large photo but rather a question of color. Sometimes the quality of a screen plays a role, too.
I am convinced it is white and if others think it is fieldgrey it is fine with me, too. I can't see that it could be fieldgrey.

Dietrich, your black & white photos do help make your case for a white DKiG in the period photo. I still lean towards field grey, but as we all know, anything was possible during wartime.
